Hopeless Romantic Lyrics
I do it to myself
Fabricate a dream, reaching for what I see
In everybody else
It's never what it seems
Seems like they're happier than me
Seems like they're where I wanna be
[Chorus]
I've got the heart of a hopeless romantic
Can you imagine
Looking for love in somewhere it's not?
I'm broken and manic
Can you imagine
Looking for love in somewhere it's not?
[Post-Chorus]
It's enough to drive you crazy, crazy (Mm-hmm)
When I think about it
It's enough to drive you crazy, crazy (Mm-hmm)
Mm-hmm
[Verse 2]
It's likе I'm lyin' to myself (Myself, myself, mysеlf)
And hopelessly romanticisin', unwillin' to compromise
With starin' at the stars (Stars)
While standin' on the moon, instead of in this room
Nothin's ever enough for me
I keep it buried underneath (Oh, oh-oh, oh)
I've got the heart of a hopeless romantic
Can you imagine
Looking for love in somewhere it's not?
I'm broken and manic
Can you imagine
Looking for love in somewhere it's not?
[Post-Chorus]
It's enough to drive you crazy, crazy (Mm-hmm)
When I think about it
It's enough to drive you crazy, crazy (Mm-hmm)
Mm-hmm
[Bridge]
(How can you imagine?) How can you imagine?
Hopeless romantic, hopeless romantic
Can you imagine?
Hopeless romantic
[Chorus]
I've got the heart of a hopeless romantic
Can you imagine (Yeah)
Looking for love in somewhere it's not?
I'm broken and manic (Can you imagine?)
Can you imagine (Can you imagine?)
Looking for love in somewhere it's not? (Oh no)
It's enough to drive you crazy, crazy (Mm-hmm, drive me crazy)
When I think about it (Oh no)
It's enough to drive you crazy, crazy (Mm-hmm)
Mm-hmm
[Outro]
Hopeless romantic, hopeless romantic

Find answers to frequently asked questions about the song and explore its deeper meaning
There have been times over the past 2 years where I really felt like I’d never get to do the things I’d always dreamed about doing as an artist. With every virtual performance that ended with a deep silence from my furniture, it just started making me really sad, and at the same time guilty, because I wasn’t appreciating what I have at all. I was actively refusing to accept the reality and instead romanticizing a version of life that just simply didn’t exist. That’s really what “Hopeless Romantic” is about. Though I will say, having just come off of my first headline tour, where I got to meet my fans for the first time, who are the people who give me this life, I’m in a much better place.
